P.P-P. 4.2 plastic play-pen 4.2 an experiment between in- and outside P.P-P. 4.2 is an urban game that changes and evolves according to the context of action. An individual is standing in whatever place (or non-place) where people are supposed to pass: a station, a museum, a waiting room, a supermarket, a street. The individual is wearing a plastic overcoat and is standing still. She is showing passers-by the INSTRUCTIONS and some EARPHONES on the back of the overcoat. Her motor: an I-POD. P.P-P. 4.2 is also a distraction during transit: the serendipity, namely finding a thing by chance while you were searching for another one, is an event that takes especially place within the scenery of a city. Conceived and performed by: Olivia Giovannini Packaging conception: Daniela Cecchi and Angela Castellano Packaging made by: Angela Castellano Assistants: Davide Francesca and Laura Milone Photo-report in progress: Laura Milone Video: Marzio Mirabella With the support of TeatrOvunque (Genoa) P.P-P. 4.2 was created in September 2007 for the contemporary dance event “Camere singole” within the 5th Festival Internazionale di Danza in Paesaggi Urbani CORPI URBANI/ URBAN BODIES (Wolfsonian Gallery, Genoa).
